Taking the next step can be hard. Convincing ourselves not to take the next step can be a little too easy. We often find ourselves caught between the place we are and the place we want to be. And then convince ourselves that we will never get there.

Whether "there" is a better job, relationship, emotional health, being a better parent or free from addiction, it is within reach.

Therapy can help. The pitfalls in life's journey are the raw ingredients for growth and fulfillment. The challenge is getting past the overwhelm to take the next step and start putting the pieces together in a way that makes sense for you.

If you are ready to take that next step in your healing journey, or even just curious what that might entail, contact me for a free introductory session to discuss the work you would like to do.

My counselor training at Naropa University is based in Gestalt therapy, and I am an IFS Level 1 Trained Therapist. I orient as a therapist through a lens that when we have fully dealt with our issues they naturally move into the background. What most hinders us as individuals is the unfinished business following us into the present moment. Once our unfinished business is completed in the present moment we naturally open up to the vivid reality of our remarkable existence.

Is something getting in the way of living the life you want to live? Combining life experience, training and professional expertise, I can help as you face the challenges of a chronic illness, pain, grief and loss including life transitions, and the aftermath of a traumatic impactful event or a history of trauma (including physical, emotional and sexual trauma), depression, anxiety, feelings of overwhelm and relationship issues.

With training in western psychology and eastern philosophy, and as a chaplain, I offer an individualized approach integrating emotional, physical and spiritual, and grounded in empathy, caring and compassionate healing - using cutting-edge interventions such as Brainspotting and EMDR, and expertise in mindfulness practices, neuroscience, attachment and family dynamics.
